Chapter 103 Everyone Crazy Together

On the other side, Mourinho on the Chelsea bench frowned again.

He took the initiative to shrink and show weakness, giving up the initiative in the game.

However, Crystal Palace was still attacking by those three or four people, and did not press hard.

That Chinese man was not fooled?
Mourinho had to admit at this time that the Chinese man whom Mendes praised several times did indeed have some skills.

Chen Ran made a move first and got rid of Robben, Chelsea's sharpest knife.While Mourinho dug a hole, Chen Ran didn't fall into it.

In the first round of their fight, Chen Ran had the upper hand.

Until the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, the score remained at 0:0.

Because this game is the focus of this round of the Premier League, reporters from major media gathered in the stands.

"Tsk tsk, it seems that this Crystal Palace really shouldn't be underestimated, even Chelsea can't do anything about them."

"That's right. Chelsea were able to gain the upper hand at the beginning, but they were beaten back by Crystal Palace."

"Don't worry, it's still 0:0 now. There is still half the game, maybe Mourinho will have some killer moves in the second half."

"That's right. After all, Mourinho is the coach who has won the UEFA Cup and the European Champions Cup in a row. Compared with the Chinese man, he has much more experience. He must have a way to win the Crystal Palace."

"Don't be too optimistic. At least so far, the Chinese man has not fallen behind in the contest with Mourinho."

"Hehe, we didn't say that Chelsea will win, so we are already very cautious."

During the halftime break, Chen Ran didn't make any tactical adjustments, and now is not the time to show his cards.

On Chelsea's side, Mourinho saw that Chen Ran was not fooled, so he stopped pretending.

He replaced Thiago with Kežman and changed the formation from 433 to 442.

Drogba and Kezhiman acted as double forwards, Duff returned to his familiar left wing to play left midfielder, Lampard and Makelele played central midfielder, Joe Cole played right midfielder.

It stands to reason that there is no problem with Mourinho's arrangement at all. Duff was originally a left-footed player, but he was forced to switch to the right because Robben was here.

Now that Robben is off, Mourinho transferred Duff back to the left, which is nothing more than a normal thing.

It's a pity that Mourinho didn't know what happened between Joe Cole and Ronaldo in the League Cup last season.

And it is impossible for Joe Cole to stand up and admit that he can't do Ronaldo.

As soon as the second half started, Chen Ran noticed Mourinho's adjustment.

He couldn't help laughing when he saw Mourinho put Joe Cole on Ronaldo's side.

Turning his head and glanced at Mourinho in the distance, he found that the guy looked confident, waiting to reap the fruits of his transformation.

It seems that Mourinho doesn't know the grievances between Ronaldo and Joe Cole.

Taking advantage of the dead ball, Chen Ran immediately called Ronaldo to the sidelines.

"Chris, have you seen Joe Cole?"

"I see. What is the boss' order?"

When Chen Ran mentioned Joe Cole's name, Ronaldo smiled knowingly.

"Hospitalize him like you did in the Carabao Cup last season."

"Don't worry, boss. I promise to satisfy Mr. Joe Cole."

"Stinky boy."

Chen Ran cursed with a smile, and pushed Ronaldo back to the field.

The progress of the next game made Mourinho completely dumbfounded.

He discovered that Joe Cole, who was used to replace Robben, was also eaten to death by Ronaldo.

Originally defending the task of defending the right forward Joe Cole, it should be the Crystal Palace left back Chiellini.

As a result, Ronaldo, who saw Joe Cole, was extremely excited as if seeing a relative, and took the initiative to take over the task of defending Joe Cole from Chiellini.

And Joe Cole was also full of bitterness. When he heard that Mourinho arranged for him to play right midfielder, he knew that something was wrong.

Damn, didn't he meet that guy named Ronaldo again?
But, can he tell Mourinho that he can't do it, that he can't do Ronaldo?

Obviously impossible.

Only bite the bullet.

So, Mourinho saw that Joe Cole, whom he had high hopes for, could not get rid of Ronaldo if he broke through;

When the ball reaches Joe Cole, it is tantamount to terminating the attack.

Not only could he not create chances to shoot, but he was also blocked by Ronaldo several times.Let Crystal Palace fight back several times solidly and almost broke the goal.

The other Chelsea players were so scared that they no longer dared to pass the ball to Joe Cole.

This made Mourinho on the sidelines angry.

What's the matter with meow?

First Robben had a problem, and now Joe Cole has a problem.

How come the players who are usually good all start to stretch when they meet the Crystal Palace?

Thinking of this, Mourinho glanced bitterly at Chen Ran in the distance.

This Chinese man could not have used some mysterious oriental witchcraft to cast a curse on the Chelsea players.

Now, Chelsea's Duff on the left can't take advantage of Maicon.And Joe Cole on the right was completely misfired.

As soon as the two wingers misfired, the two forwards Drogba and Kezhiman in the penalty area could not get enough support, and naturally they did not have any decent shooting opportunities.

Chelsea only relied on Lampard's two long-range shots in the middle to create a little threat to the Crystal Palace goal guarded by Petr Cech.

This situation lasted until 10 minutes, Mourinho finally couldn't bear it anymore, and called Gremi from the bench again.

After a simple warm-up, he replaced Joe Cole, who had only come on in the first half, with Gremi.

When Joe Cole left the field, Mourinho had a dark face and ignored him.

Seeing Mourinho's substitution, Chen Ran secretly smiled.

Mourinho is at the end of his rope.

The replaced players are less threatening than one.

However, it can't be blamed on others, who asked him to drive away the wingers Zenden and Glenshire.

Seeing that Chelsea's offensive power was constantly weakened, Chen Ran checked the time. The game had lasted for nearly 10 minutes, and it was time to start.

Turning to look at the bench, Chen Ran called Crouch and Fabregas up.

After a simple warm-up, Chen Ran replaced Yaya Toure with Crouch, and Fabregas replaced Modric.

Crystal Palace has changed from a 451 defensive counterattack tactic to a 442 twin tower tactic.

This time, the air defense pressure in Chelsea's penalty area suddenly increased dramatically.

Terry's height of 187cm is not bad, but Carvalho's height is only 182cm.

The current two strikers of Crystal Palace, Tony is 193cm tall, and Crouch's height has reached 201cm.

Terry is only 23 years old this year, and he is still far from reaching his peak.

It was already very difficult to defend Tony, who was taller and stronger than him.

On the other side, Carvalho was not known for his height and strength, and now he is a bit powerless to defend Crouch, who is nearly 20cm taller than him.

On the two wings, whether it is Ferreira on the right or Bridge on the left, they have been completely suppressed by Ronaldo and Ribery.

As soon as Chen Ran changed his formation here, the effect was immediately revealed.

Originally, under the protection of Terry and Carvalho, one was close to the body and the other was helping to defend, Tony still showed no threat.

But now with Crouch, Terry and Carvalho can only stare at each other.

But both of them were at a disadvantage in fighting for the header, which hurt the goalkeeper Cudicini.

The crosses from the two wingers were continuously converted into shots by Tony and Crouch.

Chelsea's goal suddenly fell into a precarious situation.

When Mourinho on the sidelines saw this scene, he immediately felt that something was wrong. Crystal Palace was about to launch a general attack.

But now he has run out of substitutions, and there is no way to replace a central defender to strengthen the defense. It seems that he can only find a way with the existing players on the field.

Thinking of this, Mourinho didn't care that the ball was not dead yet, and immediately yelled loudly on the sidelines, calling Kežman, who was left idling in front, to arrange a change.

Soon, Chen Ran saw Mourinho's latest adjustment.

He put right back Ferreira inside to play right centre-back, helping Terry and Carvalho defend Tony and Crouch.

Then let the right midfielder Gremila go back to play the right back, while Kezhiman pulls to the right to play the right midfielder, and Drogba stays in front to play a single striker.

The current Chelsea has become a 541 formation.

Mourinho no longer wants to think about how to win this game.

His mind is very simple now, just don't lose.

Chen Ran took a look, hehe, Mourinho was forced to take the bus by himself.

Then I'll light another fire.

Immediately, Chen Ran replaced Evra and replaced right back Maicon.

Now, Chen Ran has changed his formation again, and the formation of Crystal Palace has become 343.

Didn't Mourinho want Ferreira to take it back and help Terry and Carvalho defend Toni and Crouch?
Then I will push Ronaldo to the front line.

Use three forwards to continue to suppress Chelsea's three central defenders.

Ronaldo is also 187cm tall, while Ferreira is only 181cm tall.

In the fight for headers, whether it's Tony against Terry, or Crouch against Carvalho, or Ronaldo against Ferreira.

Crystal Palace's forwards all have the upper hand.

When the right back Maicon was removed, it was Chen Ran who let Chiellini retract and play a three-back system with Southgate and Vidic.

Three people are more than enough to defend a lone Drogba.

After Evra came on the field, he replaced Ronaldo as the left wing back.

Anyway, Evra is capable of playing all positions on the left from front to back.

Chen Ran sent Evra up, and he could guarantee with Ribery on the right that the two wings continued to send crosses to the three forwards.

This time, Mourinho's wishful thinking of relying on numbers to make up for the disadvantage of header defense was completely defeated.

Not only did it not change the unfavorable situation, but because of Ronaldo's joining, this disadvantage has not decreased but increased.

Seeing Chen Ran's substitution adjustment, Mourinho immediately knew that the situation was not good.

However, he now has no room for adjustment.

How to do?
Mourinho never expected that he, the head coach of the new Champions League champion, would encounter such a big crisis in his third game in the Premier League.

The Chinese man from the Crystal Palace is indeed a formidable character, as Mendez said.

Not only did he crack all his tricks, but now he is forcing himself to be a little desperate.

In desperation, Mourinho could only be forced to draw the left back Bridge into the left center back, help the other three central defenders defend the three strikers of Crystal Palace, and then pull the left midfielder Duff back to play. left back.

Chelsea's current formation has become a weird 631.

Now, it was Chen Ran's turn to be dumbfounded.

Damn, this Mourinho is also the coach of the new Champions League champion after all.Facing a newly promoted Premier League horse, is it shameless to fight like this?
Chen Ran was also impressed by Mourinho's pragmatism.

This guy is definitely a horrible person.

Only care about the result, not the process.

If this were put in a fantasy novel, Mourinho would definitely be a villain.

What Mourinho did not only shocked Chen Ran, but also shocked the media reporters in the stands.

"Is this Chelsea playing a formation of four central defenders and six defenders?"

"It seems to be true. With this 631-[-]-[-] formation, is Mourinho planning to give up attacking completely?"

"Isn't this Mourinho the new champion of the Champions League? Why was he forced to this point by that Chinese man?"

"Who knows. Is Mourinho too weak, or is that Chinese man too strong?"

"It seems that Mourinho is too weak. Last season's Champions League final was a confrontation between two dark horses. Without the participation of a wealthy team, the quality is still a bit worse."

"It seems that our evaluation of Mourinho has to be readjusted."

"That's right. It must be that Mourinho has a false name, and it is absolutely impossible that the Huaguo is too powerful."

At this time, the game had already lasted 10 minutes, counting stoppage time, there were only ten minutes left at most.

Chen Ran also used up all the substitutions in his hand.

On the other side, Mourinho, who was completely defending regardless of face, Chen Ran was completely convinced.

Because just now, Mourinho did another jaw-dropping thing.

He also transferred Drogba from the forward position to the penalty area, like when defending set kicks, to help his defenders compete for headers.

This time, Chelsea's formation on the field has become 730.

Mourinho gave up the attack completely, and he concentrated all the Chelsea players within 30 meters of his side.

Chen Ran is a little dizzy, we are Crystal Palace, not Barcelona.

This is just an ordinary Premier League game, not a Champions League final.

We are just a newly promoted Premier League, Mourinho, are you like this?
Damn, since you think highly of me, Mourinho, wouldn't it disappoint you if I can't win this game?

Chen Ran was heartbroken, and immediately greeted the Crystal Palace players loudly from the sidelines.

The three central defenders, except for Southgate who stayed behind, Vidic and Chiellini were all transferred to Chelsea's penalty area by him.

Chen Ran has only one order, go up and grab the header.

Mourinho, you can stack defenders, right? Don't I know how to stack forwards?
